It has been suggested here before that it would be useful to bundle the typical tiny X tools with the default X installation, just to avoid such trouble.
Because not everybody has the same needs. Before the unbundling, I had to install the entirety of X just to be able to run makedepend; several megabytes of unused stuff just for a single, 23k executable.I understand. But here we speak of the opposite situation. A number of tools (10, 20?) most of which are only a few K. By installing ~1MB total many users looking for standard tools would not have to search or ask.
